How often do tennis racket strings need to be replaced?

Here is a question that many ask:

“My mom got these tennis rackets a year or two ago. They’ve always looked old, and of course they haven’t gotten any better. I have a hard time hitting the ball with them because they seem hard and brittle. Do the strings need to be replaced? Would it be cheaper just to get a different racket. We don’t play for more than just fun, and we got these rackets because they were cheap. So I guess it doesn’t even matter that our rackets are bad. But I just wanted to know if they need replacing.”

Got any suggestions?

    You can go either way. If you replace the strings it might be cheaper and if you decide to do so do it as soon as you can. Buying a new racket can be expensive depending on which kind you buy. If i were you i would just recommend replacing the strings. If you decide to play in tournaments you will want to buy a new racket.

    hope i helped.

    well my rule for strings is if there not snapped there still working! But also it depends on how often that you are playing. I play about every day so I just replace the strings when they snap. If you play less often then replace them after a few years.

    i would say play with them till they brake..but if the strings looks worn out i will get it replaced…restringing the racket will be cheaper.

    I play racquetball and my uncle play it professionell and he change mine. U will need some supplies do change yours. It’s not chaeper and it will take time. He does it as a hobbie. He plays very much. It’s cheaper to get a new racket.
